The most red fruited & translucent addition yet of this wine. There's graphite, pepper & other subtle spices in the mix again but with even more delicacy than previous releases. Tipping the scales at 12% alcohol it's so dangerously easy to drink the underlying complexity & seriousness could quite easily be missed.

Often referred to as the king of red grapes, Nebbiolo is responsible for some of the greatest wines in the world. The regions of Barbaresco and Barolo, in Piedmont, Italy, create the most revered expressions of the variety and have set the benchmarks for the world over. Nebbiolo is quite light in colour, dry and delicate but packs a punch in aroma and flavour with notes of rose, tar, cherry, red berries, blood orange, licorice, leather, terracotta and earthy herbals. These wines have high acidity and high tannins, making them extremely age worthy that deepen in complexity over decades. Simply stunning wines!
